Contrary to popular belief, the term Dojo is not a Japanese word
for a gym or martial arts studio. Written in Kanji (a system of Japanese
writing using Chinese characters), it means “a place of the way.” It means
that a dojo is any place, physical structure or otherwise, where somebody
is practicing the way that would lead to enlightenment.

In that sense, Goran’s Karate Dojo is the place where -- in addition
to improving health and developing our self-defense skills -- we will develop
courtesy, manners and etiquette, respect, self-discipline, self-control,
patience, compassion, courage, and wisdom, which will consequently lead
to a clearer understanding of ourselves, our existence, and the world around
us.
